TLDR
In malaria endemic forested villages in Orissa State, India, a 3-year comparison of nylon nets treated with lambdacyhalothrin at 25 mg/m2, untreated nets, and no nets was carried out, finding that eighty-eight percent of nets were usable even after 3 years.Abstract:
In malaria endemic forested villages in Orissa State, India, a 3-year comparison of nylon nets treated with lambdacyhalothrin at 25 mg/m 2 , untreated nets, and no nets was carried out. Treated nets retained high insecticidal efficacy for more than 7 months. Nets washed after 3 months of use gave 98% kill in a bioassay with a 3-min exposure. Based on these bioassays during the first year, nets were later reimpregnated at 6-monthly intervals with participation of the users. Compliance with the use of nets was good. Eighty-eight percent of nets were usable even after 3 years. The main benefits perceived by treated net users were reductions in malaria, mosquito bites, head louse infestations, and other nuisance insects. The trial was well accepted by the community. Issues related to social marketing and promotion of nets are discussed.read more

TL;DR: Despite these large increases in coverage, a widely held view is that with the currently available tools, namely vector control tools, intermittent preventive treatment, and early diagnosis and treatment, much greater gains could be achieved, including elimination from a number of countries and regions.

Do insecticide-treated bednets have an effect on malaria vectors?
TL;DR: Because many of the anticipated behavioural effects caused by insecticidal use will be avoided by the use of untreated nets, studies on the efficacy of untreatednets are required.

TL;DR: There are likely to be considerable collateral benefits of ITN roll out on cutaneous leishmaniasis where this disease is co-endemic with malaria, and insecticide-treated materials such as ITNs have the potential to reduce pathogen transmission and morbidity from VBDs where vectors enter houses.

TL;DR: The ready acceptance of bednets, the high level of compliance in their use and the subsequent impact on all‐cause mortality in this study has important implications for programmes to control malaria in sub‐Saharan Africa.

TL;DR: In a country such as The Gambia, where nets were widely used and which has a good primary health care system, it is possible to achieve insecticide-treatment of bednets at a national level with a significant reduction in child mortality; but at a cost which the country cannot afford.
